Huawei India R&D
Center, the largest overseas R&D center of Huawei, today announced the
inauguration of safe drinking water facilities in rural parts of Bengaluru, as
a part of its Corporate Social Responsibility programme. Huawei India R&D
Center has identified provisioning of clean drinking water in villages and
rural areas as an urgent and important need for the overall development of
society. Towards contributing to this basic need, Huawei is setting up clean
drinking water facilities (RO Plants) in 10 villages in Bengaluru in
partnership with the MLA of Mahadevapura, and Former Minister - Higher
Education and Health, Government of Karnataka, Arvind Limbavali.

The RO Plants
installation programme is a 50:50 partnership between Huawei and the MLA (Under
the MLA Local Development Grant Scheme), to provide clean drinking water to the
villages. The construction and installation of 4 such RO plants have been
completed in Nallurahalli, Seetharampalya, Mullur and Panathur. Each RO Plant
has a capacity to dispense 500 units of 20 litres of pure drinking water every
day, which will tremendously benefit the villages.

Huawei is committed to supporting local
communities in the geographies that it operates, and undertakes a range of
social contribution projects and works hand-in-hand with community organizations
to deliver basic services. In Bengaluru, Huawei has identified education, clean
drinking water and sanitation as the areas to contribute, towards bringing
about a change in the rural landscape.
